Mom was here visiting and meeting Crusher about two weeks ago. We had a lot of fun and Crusher loved having someone to play with all day. We went to Sweet Life every morning for breakfast and to King Estate Winery for Sunday lunch. Other than that we mostly just hung out. It was nice.

I haven’t quite caught back up to normal life. Last weekend I got a cold which slowly evolved into a full-on sickness. I even had to stay home from work on Friday. It is not pretty. I think I am recovering a little, but Crusher is trying his best to keep life as difficult as possible. He has peed in our bed twice in the last 24 hours and now he is barfing everywhere because he ate some wood outside. Ugh. I am trying my best with him, but it is tough when you are sick.

Travis and I also decided to make a giant change to Swap-bot this weekend and switch the site to a new server. It is a big job and Travis has been editing code for about the last 24 hours straight. Swap-bot is looking a little better and the changes will hopefully make future improvements easier, but sometimes that website is too much to handle. It could easily take over our whole lives if we let it. Anyway, I made a new little airmail envelope guy for the site:

Too cute. You can read more about the changes to Swap-bot on the Swap-bot blog.

Other than just trying to keep my head above water with all of my everyday stuff, life is about the same. I am trying hard to be more honest and true to myself, and less nice and cute. It is a good subject for a whole other post, but basically I am just trying to be a more authentic adult. I’ll let you know if it works out.

Now off to check the Swap-bot forums and answer emails….

This time I really was not trying to get so busy. Life just always manages to pack itself full. Crusher is taking up a good amount of time, but he is so sweet and cute that it seems totally natural. He has learned how to sit and stay, and he is working on laying down on command. Today he is very tired because we took him on a long walk and he helped work in the backyard. We cleared out a bunch of vines and trimmed some trees. Sunlight actually reaches the ground back there now!

Work is fine, but it is hard going everyday and keeping up with my websites. I am perpetually behind on Swap-bot. I don’t know if I will ever catch up on the support emails…

I am still walking to work a lot, and I am also running in the mornings with my friend, Missy. I want to do a 6 mile race on the 4th of July and maybe, just maybe, run the Portland half marathon in October. Softball season has also started, so we do that every Monday. I am still awful at it, but I try. I have NOT been going to the gym. That is bad because I MUST lose at least 10 pounds stat. I need to start going to the weight-lifting class again… hmmm. I feel that I am really active, but it takes a lot to counter-act sitting at a computer all day at work. Boring.

Life is good. Always something to do. Travis and I are still making our way through the entire Star Trek: The Next Generation series. He is hating it, but sticking with me. We are on season four. Slow but steady. Tonight we are going to a friend’s house for a barbecue and then I need to do two loads of laundry and answer more Swap-bot emails. Fun times!
